Interesting, that is!
I am very careful to dress modestly. I always make sure my skirt does not rise up too high when sitting. So I do not wear the short ones.
Sometimes I do wear a short nightgowns, the shiner ones. Short and shiny and they feel silky.
But that of course is not in public. I really actually prefer the longer cotton ones, with long sleeves, short sleeves, and cap sleeves.
Be watchful if you have stairs at work, dressing modestly can avoid some gawking. Not that they would in my case; but, it is a preventive measure to wear skirts and dresses of the right length.
